Nice! Didn't even notice you had a print version yet...I'm about 70% of the way through (I really only get time to Kindle-Phone read during breaks at work), and so far I'm enjoying it. Again, formatting issues, possibly due to the app itself, crop up, as do a few spelling errors and things, but I do find it a pleasant read.

If anything, be encouraged that your enthusiasm made me put aside my monstrous. many paged tome for a bit in order to write a much smaller novella I plan on putting up on Amazon, to get feedback if nothing else. The big one was getting depressing enough that I needed to write something lighthearted in tone to take edge off.

Thanks for reading! I do notice that there are some format issues with the kindle version depending on what hardware you are using. On the kindle fire and on my regular kindle, it looks great, but some people have complained of issues with font changing every once in a while or things like asterisks and chapter headings appearing off line, mainly in the phone apps.

I am attempting to see if that is something that can be fixed with book two and I am also revising the format of the first book on Kindle to make it easier for new readers!

Please let me know what you think when you reach the end! And when you get your own book out there let me know and I will take a stab at it!

EDIT: I just discovered that several of the updates I made did not take. I just now uploaded a new version a few moments ago that should fix all those formatting and the few grammatical errors that snuck their way past us when it was first uploaded. You can request Kindle to force the current version of the file onto your device without having to purchase it again.

I hired a lady well over a month ago to design a cover for my book. I was starting to wonder if she was going to do it when she sent me this photo of her progress. I added lettering to it.

I think it's pretty impressive and she isn't even finished yet. But she didn't read the relevant chapters and she got several things wrong. The look of the plant golem is good but the event showed didn't happen that way. Our hero on the ground wasn't dressed like that. How should I approach it?

Meanwhile my brother who did the cover for the first book is gung-ho to do his own and more accurate version of the cover and his first one turned out so good. Problem I already paid the lady 175.00 several weeks ago.

I don't see a way to do this from my devices (Kindle 3 and Fire) or from the product page. I guess you have to email Amazon?

Crap. I just realized that I am going to have to change the title now. The last thing I need is a bunch of fanboys getting mad thinking that I am trying to use the phrase "Might and magic" to trick people int o buying my book. Then if the game developers decide to get involved, I would have to change it anyway.

What really stinks is that I thought up the book name before I even heard of the games. It is taken from a phrase my character says in the book and sums up the main dilemma for the main character in the book. Is he a warrior or is he a wizard?

I am going over some ideas now. The obvious change is to call it, "The Edge of Warrior and Wizard" and that still works but doesn't have the same punch. some other ideas were:

The Edge of Mind and Body (Self help book)The Edge of Vigor and MagicThe Edge of Magic and MuscleOn the Edge of Wizard and WarriorThe Edge of Brain and Brawn (Body Building self help book)

How about, "Between Sword and Summoner?" If the plant golem got there via summoing, that might might work. It might be too specific for a type of magic, but you get the alliteration in there, and it avoids Sword & Sorcery, which is an off-brand D&D 3rd Edition book publisher.

You could get "Wizard and Warrior" to work just by itself, or maybe with "Between" or "Both," as in "Both Wizard and Warrior." Just a thought.

Or get silly. "For Prestige and Prestidigitation," "Of Courage and Conjuration," or "The Deathclaw Came Down to Georgia," or "All's Bad That Ewzad." (Sorry, couldn't help myself on those last two.)
